Great!

The Nike Winflo 8 Shield is the miserable-weather version of the standard Winflo. The addition of a water-resistant membrane brings needed value to this beginner-friendly, gym-ready daily trainer and makes it a worthier choice. Add to the table a confidence-inspiring outsole, surprising durability, and a stylish design, and you have it.

An entry-level Nike Training

Judging from the reviews it has garnered, this Training is for low-mileage runners. But reviewers found it good for other types of training as well, such as gym workouts and walking.

Winflo 8 Shield is warm and protective

Though not completely waterproof, the addition of the Shield membrane makes the Training protected against rain. A tester shared that the upper is “perfectly engineered to withstand all weather.”

Two other runners chimed in: one stated that his feet "have stayed dry running in the melting snow," and the other underlined that the upper "does not get socks wet even if splashing through puddles."

Another runner pointed out that it is perfect for winter as the membrane is “like a jacket to keep the warmth of the legs in.” 

On the other hand, as with similar Trainings, it is not very breathable, so it “will make your feet sweat in summer” and "can feel a little like socks in plastic bags if it is really hot out."

Budget Training, yet doesn’t compromise on comfort

As with the standard version, an expert shared that the upper “feels very comfortable” and a walker reported that you can feel the “comfort plus quality.”

Not a fun midsole in the Winflo 8 Shield

Unlike the previous version which had a rather forgiving midsole, the Winflo 8 has a slightly firmer feel underfoot. Testers found it ok for occasional running, but in the end, it lacked cushioning for longer runs, and there was no energy return.

On the bright side, a runner underlined that there was "perfect arch support."

Solid performance for the outsole

In the traction department, this Training received a very positive rating. It offers confidence on tarmac and pavement and given that it’s made with bad weather in mind, it’s just perfect that it does so even in wet conditions. As a runner shared, there's "plenty of traction" and "the grip on the bottom is phenomenal."

Dark attractive look

This men nike air vapormax plus tm running Trainings sku145509104 for online sale comes in very few different colorways, but reviewers loved the ones available. The design is amazing and can certainly make a good impression when taken for a city stroll.

Even cheaper than before

While the initial price of $100 was already a good starting point, it has been further lowered to the current $86. Considering that the average for a road running Training is $125,  this makes the Training even worthier.
